Abstract
Pyomyositis is an uncommon infection of muscle that is usually managed conservatively, but, can progress to abscess formation requiring open surgical drainage. We present the first reported case of a 14-year-old male with obturator internus pyomyositis requiring computed tomography-guided percutaneous transgluteal drainage for the management of a right obturator internus abscess. We present this case report to provide an alternative to the open surgical management of abscesses from pyomyositis by means of successful computed tomography-guided drainage.
